Adopt a Meerkat

Meerkat

Meerkats are widespread in the dry, open savanna, grassland and desert areas where they live in Southern Africa. Temperatures in the summer can get as high as 40C, while overnight frosts in the cool season are also common. These charismatic animals are very social, living in groups of up to around 50 individuals in the wild. Meerkats don’t currently face any major threats, and are found in several large, protected areas.

When you adopt a meerkat, you’ll receive…

Our Standard Adoption scheme includes all this for just £50.00:

  • A special Adoption Certificate.
  • Stickers.
  • A bookmark.
  • A photo of a Meerkat.
  • One adult day ticket

Meerkats are some of the most-loved animals at any zoo, even here at Marwell Zoo. While they are currently not under threat in the wild, it’s important that their habitat survives. By adopting a meerkat from Marwell Zoo, you’re helping the meerkats that live here, and supporting us in protecting their habitats in the wild. Our conservation work can’t go ahead without the amazing support from people like you who adopt our animals and make amazing donations.

 

Marwell Zoo uses the money from adoptions and animal experiences to help our conservation efforts around the world. Choosing to adopt an animal allows us to raise important funds to help continue our efforts to support more and more threatened animals and their habitats.

Did you know that meerkats are resistant to some venoms?

Our adoption process is easy, you just have to choose your adoption package, whether that is a child, standard or premium package, head to the checkout, and pay for your package. Adopting through Marwell Zoo is a great choice, not only will you be helping support our conservation work, but you’ll receive a selection of wonderful Marwell goodies as a thank you.
